The electron beam in a colour TV is accelerated through 32 kV and then strikes the screen. What is the wavelength of the most energetic X-ray photon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `V=32KV=32xx10^3V `
When accelerated through `32KV `
` E=32xx10^3eV `
` lambda=(hc)/E=1242/(32xx10^3) `
` =38.8xx10^-3nm `
` =38.8p m`
